Wow great picture Stefan

Superb color of sunrise i think :)

Adam will be glad :)

...and you are welcome Stefan

Regards

Henry

Oh yes, Henry. I really like this shot. But it is the sunset and not the sunrise, which is evident by the fact that the sunshine hitting the building is coming from the west and also the fact that the major observatory decks are (sadly) not open for the sunrise :( Edited by A miller

Thanks Henry for your friendly words. :) Adam is right, it was sunset.

My wife and me had a wonderful week inclusive fantastic weather in October in NYC.

This is from photokina this year, taken in Hall 1 where Leica normally keeps their cool kit together with the pictures of photographers whose names they borrow to further Barnack's cause. This year, Hall 1 only held photos; Leica had relocated to the basement (the horror) of another hall. Compared to previous years, Leica's presence was minuscule and from an equipment perspective, frankly, disappointing.

 

In Hall 1, however, there was some interesting photography on display. But these mammoth prints of Bruce Gilden's photos were not that.

 

I have never been a fan of Bruce Gilden. I've seen videos of how he works and just don't like how he approaches his subjects. When I saw these extreme close-ups in the S magazine last year I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but this series and interviews he's given about it has now cemented him in my mind as a photographer with little regard for those he photographs, as much as he claims the contrary (which is what he does for this series of photos from US state fairs). I think it is unfortunate that Leica has included him among the photographers they use to market their cameras when there are so many other to choose from. All this just my opinion, of course. I'm sure there are people out there who just adore him and his results. 

 

On another note, I was amazed how many people walked around with sport cams on sticks, simply recording their own existence. I'd better stop now before I begin sounding like a grumpy old man :)

Great shot, Philip.  For me, the interesting shock value form these photos is greatly diminished knowing that they were all set up and staged.  I go crazy for this kind of stuff in candid form (or a spur of the moment random street portrait).

Speaking of "set up and staged," :) here is a cactus with a lovely sweet yellow sabris fruit bulb, care of Provia 100F and the SWC...

I absolutely love Your pictures  - all of them. I do not have an ounce of Your knowledge and professionalism. I learned developping photos at college, in 1969. Had that opportunity for one year. Then I sometimes went to the darkroom much later, when my wife did a lot of photo work. She gave all material away when digital photography came - and I always had some regrets. Then the photographer of the neighbour village, retired for 12 years, offered me the Krokus he had bought as a student, in the early 1960s. THAT was when my wife was two weeks to visit her family in France. So when she came back, I had re-created a simple darkroom and I started develloping the photos I shot. Yet I feel like a complete newbee in this place. I have little technical knowledge, basical should I say - and try to see what I shoot in a way that allows some kind of pictures depending on feeling rather than profound knowledge.

So all this said, I hesitate to post pics as Your photos look so much more pro and better than all I'll be able to do. This all said, trying to be on-topic : here's a pic I shot in winter in Firenze, Italy. In front of the "Annunciatione " Fresco by Fra Angelico in San Marco. ( Leica IIIf / Elmar 3:5 / 50 lens Kodak 400TX -  photo on baryte paper scanned to upload)

Hi Jean Matie - great story, and i really like your photos and encourage you to share more and more. I have only been doing photography for a few years and only been shooting landscape type stuff for a couple of years. All self taught thanks to the internet - and this thread, which is inspiring and filled with diverse insights from very talented photographers :)
